7MS #441: SharpGPOAbuse

In today's episode I talk about a cool self-defense class I took a while ago which was all about less lethal methods of protecting/defending yourself. I also talk about some safer ways to handle/hide cash while traveling on vacation.

Welcome to another fun tale of pentest pwnage! This one isn't a telling of one single pentest, but a collection of helpful tips and tricks I've been using on a bunch of different tests lately. These tips include: I'm seeing nmap scans get flagged a bit more from managed SOC services. Maybe a "quieter" nmap scan will help get enough ports to do a WitnessMe run, but still fly under the logging/alerting radar? Something like: nmap -p80,443,8000,8080 subnet.i.wanna.scan/24 -oA outputfile Using mitm6 in "sniper" mode by targeting just one host with: mitm6 victim-I-want-to-get-juicy-info-from -d victim.domain --ignore-nofqnd Using secretsdump to target a single host: secretsdump.py -target-ip 1.2.3.4 localadmin:@1.2.3.4 -hashes THIS-IS-WHERE-THE:SAM-HASHES-GO. Note the colon after localadmin - it's intentional, NOT an error! Rubeus makes password spraying easy-peasy! Rubeus.exe spray /password:Winter2022 /outfile:output.txt. Get some hits from that effort? Then spray the good password against ALL domain accounts and you might get even more gold! LDAPs relaying not working? Make sure it's config'd right: nmap -p636 -sV -iL txt-file-with-dcs-in-it

Today we're joined by our friends Christopher Fielder and Jon Crotty from Arctic Wolf to talk about their interesting report on The State of Cybersecurity: 2022 Trends (note: you can get some of the report's key points here without needing to provide an email address). The three of us dig in to talk about some of the report's specific highlights, including: Many orgs are running the bare minimum (or nothing!) for endpoint protection Cyber insurance costs are going up, and some customers are unable to afford it - or they're getting dropped by their carrier altogether Security is still not getting a seat at the decision-making table in a lot of orgs, and already-overburned IT teams taking on security as part of their job descriptions as well Seems like everybody and their mom is moving infrastructure to the cloud, but few are managing that attack surface, thus increasing risk The cyber skills gap remains a challenge - many security gurus are looking to get out of their current position, leading many orgs to hire inexperienced teams who make rushed/misinformed decisions about security tools and services, thus making the org less secure P.S. this is Christopher's fifth time on the program. Be sure to check out his first, second, third and fourth interviews with 7MS.

Today I'm sharing some first impressions of the Rapid 7 InsightIDR as kind of a teaser for an eventual new chapter in our Desperately Seeking a Super SIEM for SMBs series. Disclaimer: remember these are first impressions. There may be some missed detections I talk about today that are a me problem and not the technology. I hope to get to the root of those unresolved issues by the time I talk more formally about InsightIDR in a future episode. Enjoy!

Today we revisit our phishing series with a few important updates that help us run our campaigns more smoothly, such as creating a simple but effective fake O365 portal, and being aware that some email systems may "pre-click" malicious links before users ever actually do.
